He was educated in Dubrovnik, and after he was ordained a Benedictine priest he adopted the name Mavro.

Michelozzo Michelozzi

(Florence, 1396 – Florence, 7 October 1472) After the fall of Constantinople under Ottoman rule in 1453, Ragusans feared for the safety of their city even though it already had well-fortified walls, but they were, however, somewhat outdated because of the emergence of new weapons and methods of warfare.

Miho Hranjac

(Dubrovnik, first half of the 17th c.) At the beginning of the 17th century, two political events shook the Dubrovnik Republic from within and made the normally cautious Ragusans even more wary – the Lastovo Rebellion (1602 – 1606) and the so-called Great Conspiracy (1612). The rebellion of a number of inhabitants of the remote island of Lastovo, that was under Dubrovnik’s rule from the mid-14th century and enjoyed an autonomous status, was used, of course, by the rival Venetian Republic.

Nikola Božidarević

(Dubrovnik?, c. 1465? – Dubrovnik, end of 1517?) Nikola Božidarević is one of the symbols of Renaissance painting in Dubrovnik. Some called him “the legendary artist (…) who became the hallmark of an entire period of national painting,” and he attracted the attention of experts for a long time. Nevertheless, many things about his life and work still remain unknown. He was the son of painter Božidar Vlatković who hailed from the village of Kručica in Dubrovačko Primorje, but we do not know for certain where Nikola was born; it is possible that it was Kotor.

Nikola Gučetić

(Dubrovnik, 1549 – Dubrovnik, 24 January 1610) The time of Late Renaissance (16th c.) in Croatia produced an abundance of works and authors, who were not recognized only locally, but in a broader European cultural context.
